Over the next five years, we are embarking on an ambitious agenda of driving both the breadth and depth of fintech and digital finance to double the current average of financial and economic inclusion across Africa. This agenda will be underpinned by our increased interventions with the main ecosystem stakeholders to scale: hard infrastructure; digital infrastructure; financial and digital literacy; digital trust, women-in-tech, innovative policies, and regulations; regtech and suptech; and mainstreaming of environmental, social and governance issues.
